    It's weird that you think one word from the King wouldn't change that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,649 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    He is/was demanding that everywhere he goes the security is covered by the government, not just places he is going to on his fake royal tours. Its completely unreasonable and based solely on him not wanting to pay for it himself. His security is assessed on a case by case basis on the rare occasions he visits the UK. Sometimes that might include armed officers, or every time for all we know. He isn't being left unprotected. If he is so concerned about his safety then he should stop doing things like staying in hotels rather than royal properties and visiting countries that it is advised against for regular folk, let alone members of royalty, because of the high risk of being the victim of a crime.

    Well no, the queen couldn't overrule the government and neither can the king.

    ”Forgives” his family? FFS he’s got some fcking nerve.

    And this b0ll0x about “life being too short”?

    You’ll need to also have a word with Megsy Harry coz her Da has possibly even less time left than yours does.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,347 ✭✭✭Be right back


    I'm sure that the fact he openly discussed how long more will his father live will mend those bridges up in no time. He conveniently forgets that he started this whole situation. Leave the rf but don't destroy your relationship with them. He's 40. It's about time he grew up.

    These folk arent like you and me. They have been brought up in a bubble with their every need catered for. Granted they may have done some token time in the armed forces but don't let the smoke and mirrors fool you.

    There is no 'growing up'. The things that force most of us into growing up - the necessity to earn a living - isn't an issue for these people.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,649 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    Well I think the earning a living thing is becoming an issue for Harry now, especially if he wants the lifestyle he feels entitled to.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,224 ✭✭✭✭kippy


    He's hardly gonna end up in the dole queue now is he? Who he is, whether he is an "active royal" or not maintains the bubble. He's not gonna have to do a FAS course to reskill as a sparky.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,514 ✭✭✭✭end of the road


    he did grow up, that's why he got out and spoke the truth.

    and brought the racist far right elements of the british press to heal.

    just like thomas markle did with meghan, it was harry's family who started the issues with the treatment he got and refusal to listen when he raised his concerns.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    Harry clearly has issues- - RF have moved on without him and especially because of the drivel he wrote about them and it’s killing him- he’s poking them via the media which is such a sh1te thing to do.
    Hes a 40 year old waster who doesn’t know how good he’s had it in life - he now has too much time on his hands and doesn’t know what to do with himself. Had he kept his mouth shut about security, he’d have likely been looked after any time he and his family visited - he’s blown this out of all proportion .
    Sad his kids aren’t seeing and getting to know Charles as a grandparent but hey ho, that’s Harry’s call.

    Harry must keep himself in the news and keep reminding people that he exists!!He does this anyway he can. Nothing he says is sincere.

    His public airing of the family disputes has backfired on him.

    I'm no fan of the royal family but they have been through alot in the last year with Charles and Kate going through cancer treatment, they don't need more of Harry's nonsense. If he is serious about reconciling he should speak to his family in private. Harry seems to prefer to do everything through media though which is an insincere approach.

    It's only a matter of time before he divorces Meghan and guess who he will blame for this - yep his family.

    Harry had so much going for him and be blew it all by being brainwashed by an American nutter



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,649 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    I just cant imagine giving up a life of complete privilege, never having to actually work, access to anywhere you want to go, any historical building and records you want to see, a budget to cover all your clothes and travel, any number of free places to stay, hobnobbing at dinners with world leaders and A-list celebrities, and literally being part of many historic events that most people could only dream of. All for complaining that it wasn't enough and constantly having to grift to stay afloat because you have no clue how to actually be a functional adult who fends for yourself. All while being married to a complete weirdo. What an idiot.

    That isn't true.

    Sky News Explainer.

    Harry has argued that his private protection team in the US does not have access to UK intelligence information which is needed to keep his wife and children safe.

    He therefore wants access to his previous level of security when in the country, but wants to fund the security himself, rather than ask taxpayers to foot the bill after he stepped down as a senior member of the Royal Family.

    life of complete privilege, never having to actually work

    Glad we agree that is what the Royals are.

    But Harry is hardly living in squalor is he?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,649 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    Yes that's what the royals are, who ever disputed that? I mean, its a fair trade off. Do your duty and you get all this **** for free, that's kind of how it works lol. He's not living in squalor but hes living above his means because hes never had to actually pay for anything and now he does. He's trying to live a royal lifestyle on a millionaire budget and it just doesn't work that way. I can see how that might come as a shock.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,649 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    It is true though. He wanted IPP status which means that wherever he goes the security is covered by whatever government. I think he even said as much himself in the BBC interview ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,457 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    If it is true. Then you will have no problem debunking the sky news explainer.

    He therefore wants access to his previous level of security when in the country



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,457 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    He's not living in squalor but hes living above his means because hes never had to actually pay for anything and now he does.

    I have no idea how you know he is living above his means, but he is quite happy to pay his own way.

    Same way he is happy to pay for the security costs of his family whilst in the UK.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,649 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    Wait now, I thought sky was a right wing rag and not worthy of your time? I apologise though, I thought this was the ipp status case and it's not. He did complain in the interview though about not getting security covered in other countries I thought? Either way, he still gets security when he's in the UK, on a case by case basis. I dont see the problem. Maybe he should stay at places that offer top level security if hes so scared but he won't, you keep ignoring that fact.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,457 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    Wait now, I thought sky was a right wing rag and not worthy of your time?

    Where did you get that idea?

    He did complain in the interview though about not getting security covered in other countries I thought?

    Did he or didn't he?

    Either way, he still gets security when he's in the UK, on a case by case basis.

    That is by definition might get security.

    How do I know he is living above his means? Maybe because his wife is shilling jam water and trying to make money constantly? The costs of a house of the size they live in must be astronomical. They have a mortgage for a stupidly large house and grounds, property taxes are ridiculous, especially in California, plus they would need housekeepers and landscapers of several varieties just to maintain it. Not to mention nannies, drivers, all their staff, business expenses etc. They must be hemorrhaging money.

    He's not happy to pay the costs, thats why he brought the case. it's already been established that the met police force isn't for hire, and rightfully so, so he can't do that either. Poor harry



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,668 ✭✭✭✭Purple Mountain


    We've all seen in real life his type before. Sh1t all over their loved ones, air their dirty laundry in public and then come crawling back framing themselves as the victim.

    Noone will buy it, Harry love.

    What is wrong with that?

    So basically you are guessing, you have no idea if they are living beyond their means or not.

    That would be fair and accurate?

    He's not happy to pay the costs, thats why he brought the case

    Again, that isn't true.

    The most aggressive part of his interview yesterday was how he has “forgiven his family- very magnanimous of him, considering he’s the one that shat all over them with his verbal dirorea not once but 3 times - the Ophra interview, the Netflix series and then the book which really kicked them in the nuts- then this interview which was just so publicly condescending.

    His security concern in the UK is just a red herring anyway - it’s not like he’ll want to bring his kids to McDonalds in Woking as a birthday treat



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 311 ✭✭bobsman


    Beyond belief. How stupid is this man? He is truly f**ed when Meg files for divorce. Where will he go then??

    William will be King - quite soon if what Hazard said is true. William will surely strip them of their titles - can he do this??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,668 ✭✭✭✭Purple Mountain


    I can only imagine the conversation back in Montishitshow today.

    Meghan in her whispery voice while handing a sun tea to the ginger whinger- "Don't worry, my love. It's their loss, they've lost their son and our amazing, gorgeous children. We don't need them. They're not part of our love language anymore".

    To thine own self be true



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,649 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    I think meghans been wise to stay out of this whole thing publicly. Hes making himself look unhinged with his crusade

    Oh indeed and she’s been separating herself from Harry publicly for a while now- her damp squib of a Netflix series is her albatross but it’s nothing near as embarrassing and pathetic and irreversible as yesterdays short interview - it feels to me, Harry’s mind is like…

    “OK, the whole book/interview sh01te didn’t work out so well- hey-ho, that’s sortable , I’ll just “forgive” them all and they’ll come crawling back to me - that’ll show those rotters- now, let’s have an Enid Blyton story before bedtimies.

    Going on TV (again) looking to reconcile with your father who has cancer and then end up either deliberately or accidentally creating speculation about the severity of his cancer (I don't know how long he has to live) is why he is seeking reconciliation in the first place.
